This is the way hot cocoa should be made and then maybe a dollop of whip cream and some cinnamon sugar on top. My grandchildren love the varieties we come up with. Enjoy!

I am lactose intollerent and this substitution turned out fantastic! Even my grown son (who has refused any of my efforts to have him try soy milk) loved it, and never new the switch!
Very healthy!

Took about 5 minutes total, including pulling out the saucepan! It worked out great - very chocolatey and old-timey - the kind your mom might have made for you when you came in from playing in the snow. I much prefer this to the packaged instant - highly recommended! :P

It's simply deliciouse!It's simply deliciouse! I used milk chocolate instead of semi sweet, and milk insteed of water , it was much tastier than water! You should also whip it quikly after cooking so it wont be cold! you can twist up the recipe w/ some white choc. or some other cool ingriediant that you wana add. be creative when you cook!

It was not very thick as I would have liked it. Next time I will omit the water and just use 3cups of milk or I will use 1 cup of water as suggested and use 1 cups of heavy cream and 1cup of milk.
